3-4 sec animation delay - in one zone only.

This morning I experienced a consistent 3-4 sec animation delay in a single zone in AD (greenwood or w/e that zone is called). I ported to other zones, and the delay disappeared. I completed a dungeon in that zone and experienced the same 3-4 sec anim delay throughout.

By delay, what I mean is that the action seems to have fired (there will be a buff sign on a mob or on me), but 3-4 secs would tick off before the animation would fire. Needless to say, the game is unplayeable like this.

Because the issue disappeared in other zones, I'm left to conclude that it's server side.

If anyone has any fix for this I'd be happy to hear it.

    I've experienced this too ! At first thought maybe my ISP but checked speeds and logged into other games (no issues)

    Also I've been getting this with my horse. takes about 3-4 secs for the damn thing to spawn. Occasionally longer and them you just magically appear sat on it !

    Happening in The Rift on VR toons. It's unplayable.

    I have been getting this off and on in all zones.. especially the more enemies that are around the worst the lag. It causes me to die most of the time because that 1 sec response time is crucial to survival against heavy hitting mobs in Vet Zones.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    I have been having this problem as well. The game is unplayable because of it.

    I was getting this everywhere, but it was by far the worst in Shadowfen. Disabling sound worked for solving it. Give it a try... I think sound effects only need to be disabled, but Im not 100% sure.

    I am in Shadowfen too.

    I tried turning off Footsteps and Effects and so far so good! Definitely not ideal long term but helpful for the time being.

    Thank you.
